Challenge Cup Final line-ups

Aviva Premiership side Gloucester take on Stade Francais tomorrow in Murrayfield to be crowned Challenge Cup champions.

The Cherry & Whites start the game slight underdogs with the bookmakers in a game that is very tough to call.

Both sides missed out on the end of season play-offs in their respective leagues, this is an opportunity to salvage some silverware and put a gloss on the campaign.

Stade Francais have made headlines in recent months with their off-field business, a merger with Racing 92 confirmed and then abandoned.

In team news, Gloucester boss David Humphreys has made 6 changes to the line-up that started against Exeter Chiefs last weekend.

SF have remained with the same backline that started against Bath in that exciting semi-final win. There are two changes to the front-row as Heinke van der Merwe and Remi Bonfils replace Zurabi Zhvania and Laurent Panis.

The final change to that side sees Jonathan Ross come in for Raphael Lakafia on the flank, with the latter hoping to make an impact off the bench alongside the likes of Willem Alberts, Julien Dupuy, and Morné Steyn.
